We salute our fallen soldiers for selflessly defending Kenya

I express my deepest, heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the Kenyan soldiers killed by Al Shabaab terrorists at their base in Somalia.

The soldiers’ death on duty is by no means a sign of defeat. Contrary to what the enemy would wish the Kenyan public to believe, the death of our heroes was an act of bravery and true nationalism. No greater love can a person enlisted in our esteemed forces demonstrate than to lay down his/her life defending the nation.
